This Week on the Island 08/25/2019

‘This Week on the Island’ is written by Doug Bennett and is an update to friends about happenings in Key West last week. Everything is true except for those parts that are lies.

The Weather:  We got a little rain. Our drains in the street, drain to the ocean. At high tide, sometimes the drains fill up with ocean water and flood into the streets. If it rains at high tide the water has no where to go. When the tide turns all the water is sucked out to sea.

The book this week was:

I have already started another book

Our banana tree fell down. Banana stalks grow to one side of the banana tree. As the bananas grow the tree begins to lean. When the bananas are large enough the tree will fall. I hang the bananas on the front porch so the tourist can see them. There are 60 bananas in this bunch.

A rainbow at the dog park this week.

Teeki and I ran into Allen Cox on Lazy Way Lane this week. He has been a friend for many years. This week was his wife’s birthday.

Went to Schooner. Listened to Michael McCloud sing ‘Tree Top Flyer’.

I had a cold beer, Teeki had Schooner water with ice.

I had chips and salsa.

Finished it all off with a small cigar.

All of my beers seem to have this hole in the top that lets the beer escape.

Life is good!
 
Key West,
